leeding edge means having access to a 12 Camera Vicon Motion Capture (MOCAP) system. This is the same type of system used in all the big Hollywood visual effects films, as well as AAA game titles for Xbox and PS3, PS4.

3D Printing

W

e firmly believe that 3D printing technology is going to have a very large stake in the future economy. So we built a cutting edge 3D printing lab available to our students! In this lab you will have access to an assortment of 3D printers which can print in multiple materials. As you learn digital modeling in our our Animation program, this can directly translate that skill set into creating real life physical models.
